Easter Doxology

(Sung to LM -‘Old Hundredth’)

Be present in our lives today,

Raising the Christ to lead the way.

Grant justice to the least of these.

Healing compassion pain will ease.

No longer bound within a tomb,

Love everlasting making room

For outcasts desperate, lonely,

God gives a gracious destiny.

Breaking the barriers we create,

God already initiates

A new creation formed from Christ

The Kingdom comes within our lives.

Celebrate now in God’s new light

A world without hunger is in sight

Feeding the thousands Eucharist

We join God’s presence in our midst.

Praise God, you are a new body.

Rise up, Oh Church, and be set free

As Easter people you live out

Christ’s resurrection without doubt.
